The best way to get your bearings in Isla Colón is to rent a quad early in your trip and get to know the island. There are countless hospedajes and small hotels that you’ll stumble across that may better fit the vibe and budget you’re looking for, and most of them aren’t online. On Main Street in Bocas Town, you’ll find Flying Pirates who will rent you quads and suggest several day trips you can take. We recommend the long road to their personal ranch, which takes you past several jaw-dropping beaches -- the best being La Laguna. There will not be another human in site as you cool off in the various rock pools. Plus, you’ll get to spend a couple of hours roaring through tiny jungle paths, splashing across muddy creeks and generally experiencing the freewheeling joy that only a motorized off-road vehicle can provide. If you can’t have fun doing that, you should probably try Daytona Beach next time.
